Chances of Aphex twin...? Would make my life.

I assume you lot have heard the new Against All Logic ( Nicholas Jaar) mix? It's glorious.

Probably unlikely. Was talk a couple festivals ago he was offered The Park headline slot but wanted the Other Stage. 

Maybe Block 9 will twist his arm to play IICON one year, and I'm sure he'll be back playing as someone else in a far reaching corner eventually

IICON would be perfect.

West Holts would be the ideal soundsystem for Aphex, if they want him to be a 'headline time' act. Plus without the screens (i.e. the Park) it wouldn't be quite the same.

Officially it isn’t. It became too much of a commercial venture outside of Glastonbury, which made Glasto nervous about what could be viewed as a spin-off that they had no control over. What if there was some kind of accident at a festival the media could paint as a sister event, for example.

They still have a good relationship though so they’re coming back with a new, “separate” project.

Curious with this. How come Glade was okay to break out as it's own thing all those years ago but this they're not okay with?

Good question. I don’t know, I guess because it’s just more organised now?

[Madyaker]

I suspect there wasn't as many or any lawyers involved in decision making back then.

Arcadia have had a festival recently and do other events. Strange that beat hotel can’t expand.

They've got the Marrakech thing going, in its second year now

@Bradders and @Madyaker I was also assuming it must be due to more organisation or such like now. I guess Glade was ages ago. But @dotdash79 makes a good point - I hadn't thought about Arcadia.

@vintagelaureate - that's what spawned the discussion, see the original post from Bradders:

 

[Mezhyp1]

Gerd Janson, Erol Alkan and George Fitz playing Fat White Family's fest the weekend before Glastonbury. They were probably certainties anyway 

[ghostdancer1]

no offence to @Bradders, but I doubt that "Glasto nervous over something happening elsewhere and negative publicity being linked back to them" is even remotely true.

They could just change the name of the tent at Glastonbury if that was the case.

My guess is it's just about keeping it new and fresh - a bit like Arcadia.

If you keep doing the same thing over and over it gets stale and loses it'd edge - no matter how much we like it or how good it is!

None taken, I’m just repeating what I was told which came from the team behind the Beat Hotel. I’d taken it at face value without giving it much scrutiny, but the Arcadia point is a good one as well.

One is correct, the other two nope.

Extremely vague clues is probably the best I can get away with.

HAAi told me she'd be playing, but I didn't ask what area. She'd be well worthy of the upgrade to IICON imo
